Maximal power

Report a typo

The integer p=1033p = 1033 is a prime. Find the maximal power of pp which divides (p3+1)!(p^3+ 1)! (Recall that n!=12(n1)nn! = 1 \cdot 2 \cdot \ldots \cdot (n - 1) \cdot n.)

(Hint: think about the representation of (p3+1)!(p^3+ 1)! as a product of primes. Which of the numbers from 11 to p3+1p^{3} + 1 contribute a term pp to this product? Do some of them contribute p2p^{2}? What about higher powers?)
